Easy starter islands have extra resources that you don't get on a normal skyblock. Therefore, I propose that easy starter islands come with a cobble generator already built (while still keeping the lava and ice in the starter chest). I feel like some of the common issues with new players is to do with cobble generators, messing up the lava and placing lava on the spawn point. Not every new player will know where to find the warps and the guides at spawn, therefore this can help. Doing /sb and hovering over the island types can tell users what islands have cobble generators on them. Before anyone says this... No, this will not be game breaking, make the game too easy or impact most people on these forums. Skyblock has an issue in keeping new players for a long time these days. Majority of the reason is how difficult it can be to get started if you aren't the type of person who loves to do extensive research. The new skyblock server has varying difficulties, ranging from easy to hardcore. The server has donors with perks that make everything far easier. We want new players to stay here and not leave so we need to make things a little easier for beginners. Naturally, if people want the challenge, they can create it themselves.
Great idea. Another way to keep new players from leaving the server right away. Support! Although that never happened to me, I’ve seen many many instances where people somehow manage to get it on their spawn.
I've given away literally hundreds of obby and ice to people that mucked up their cobble gens. Many of them were gonna quit, so having a built-in generator would be great for everyone.
Support as it really would be helpful for new players as you've mentioned and I've seen lots of new players asking on how to make a cobblestone generator or saying they've messed their cobble generator up so I told them to either go to /warp tutorial or just built them a simple cobblestone generator.
Support, one of the biggest reasons new players give up and leave rather quickly is because they mess up a cobble generator (turning the lava into obsidian) or they just don't know where to start. This would definitely help out with that Plus, there could also be some note next to this choice in the island menu, like "Suitable for Beginners" or something along those lines maybe
Because if they manage to screw up their lava somehow, even if its placed, they have spare. Easy island means there should be an allowance for extra materials.
Support, as numerous people surrounding my island have messed-up cobble gens and quit. This will help people keep playing skyblock.
Support, new players have been quitting because of cobble generators they are messing up, but a new island with an cobble generator built is a good idea.
Support, one of the major issues is that players always put their lava in their spawn and then they don't actually have a way to respawn so they usually just quit. It's not fair on them.
Support. It's reasonable, and I do agree that players do get frustrated when they mess up their cobble generator. Wouldn't hurt to add. Would make everything better & easier actually.
I think this would great! It would not hurt the server at all, and would give people new to the game mode, a good starting point. Plus, I feel horrible every time I have to tell people bucket trade is illegal. X.X maybe this would decrease that.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make a suggestion! With the newly-added island spawn safety checks, players will no longer spawn in lava if they made their cobble generator with the lava over their spawn point, which should address the main concern driving this suggestion.
